Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AlarmNet 360 at 4.4 against ScanSeries's 3.8. AlarmNet 360 also leads on ratings volume (809 vs 48). ScanSeries's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (43% vs 18%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AlarmNet 360 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AlarmNet 360 has 809 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of ScanSeries's written reviews are positive against 18% of AlarmNet 360's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ScanSeries ships an update every 3 weeks, AlarmNet 360 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on July 17, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
